Brioche Heaven

I’m French. In my world, brioche is a food group of its own and you need at least two servings of brioche per day to maintain a healthy balanced diet. I’m addicted to brioche. I miss(ed) it so terribly that you can imagine how delighted I was when my mother-in-law came to stay with us for a week and said she was going to make some from scratch. Yes, please!

There were heavenly: light, fluffy, buttery, with just the right amount of crunchiness on the outside. It’s the magic of brioche, that you can write ‘light’ and ‘buttery’ in the same sentence. Yu-u-u-u-um!

It got me all inspired to make some myself and try the recipe my dad gave me ages ago. I’m also going to steal my MIL’s recipe because really, there’s nothing like a tried and tested recipe. Mmmmmmmm, brioches!
